People are raging over these skimpy and impractical Amazon costumes in 'Justice League' — here's why they should stop freaking out

People are angry over a series of promotional photos of Amazon warriors in the upcoming "Justice League" movie that have surfaced from Zack Snyder's Vero account.

The photos depict very different costumes for the race of warrior women as seen in "Wonder Woman."

The costumes are skimpier and resemble two-piece bathing suits rather than practical armor.

Twitter users are calling the costume choices "a step backward" while others say it's just a flashback scene and their costumes become armor later.

An INSIDER reporter screened the movie and we feel the anger over costumes is unnecessary.

Wonder Woman and other female superheroes have historically been criticized for their impractical, bustier-style costumes. That unfortunate movie trope made an about-face in 2016's "Wonder Woman," starring Gal Gadot, which featured Amazons wearing warrior-ready (and yes — attractive) costumes designed by Lindy Hemming that would protect them in battle.

But did that progressive win just take one giant leap backward in the upcoming movie "Justice League"?

Why people are attacking the Amazons' apparent costume change

Director Zack Snyder — who helped co-write "Wonder Woman" under director Patty Jenkins —recently posted promotional shots from the upcoming DC universe movie on his Vero account. Our beloved Themyscirans, as the Amazons are called, appear to be wearing significantly different costumes that show off their toned midriffs and several of the Amazons are wearing fringed miniskirts and leather crop tops instead of armor.

People on social media haven't taken too kindly to the apparent sudden change in appearance of the fierce women.

Are the costumes really worth our anger or is this whole issue overblown?

A couple of people have argued that the costume change could simply just represent the change in timeline in "Justice League."

However, as Digital Spy pointed out, other promotional shots feature male Atlantis warriors from the same time period who are fully covered in proper armor. Plus, as you can see in the "Wonder Woman" flashback clip below when Hippolyta is sharing the origin of the Amazons to a young Diana, they have seemingly always worn full-coverage body armor.

Here's what we think

An INSIDER reporter attended a screening of "Justice League" with this whole costume controversy in mind. If we had not seen the photos of the sexy Amazon costumes surface online beforehand, we would never had noticed them. Although some of the skimpy outfits can be briefly glimpsed throughout the movie, most of the Amazon warriors are clad in full armor and cloaks while fighting. There is a flashback to a scene that takes place hundreds of years in the past where the sexier costumes are seen to show the time jump, but the scene is so fast-moving, you hardly notice them. This costuming controversy could be an example of misplaced Internet rage.

You can judge for yourself when "Justice League" hits theaters nationwide Friday, November 17.

Representatives for "Justice League" told INSIDER they have no comment on the controversy.
